A nine-page document outlining plans to occupy a number of congressional buildings connected to the U.S. Capitol and the Supreme Court on Jan. 6, 2021, and to communicate demands for a new election, were released in court on Wednesday.

The document, titled “1776 Returns” (pdf), was filed in court as part of a recent motion (pdf) made by one of the co-defendants of Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys.
